Electric Candle

There are usually "cup candles" in restaurant especially at outdoor spaces.
They are quite problematic as they are easily blown out or overturned.

But now there seems a good invention -
A flickering light bulb!
The effect is very real!


Venue Hunting - southern HK

-赤柱
Wildfire
場地一流,
經理九流.

King Ludwig's Beerhouse
場地比wf遜色了點,
侍應們好像有些土,
但十分友善,
全海景搭救.

El Cid
裝修感覺高級,
經理最正常,
而且幾靚仔...哈.

-淺水灣
影灣園
好像是有錢人去的地方,
咦...君姐?

Ming is so cool in this picture!
(location: Easter Island)

<惡童> 限量版 DVD


雖然劇情十分普通,
但老鼠臨終前的教誨依然感動,
怪醫的出現仍舊驚喜,
畫功方面更不用多說.

特別版收錄了
movie disc (黑),
special disc (白),
director's note,
the making &
海報一張,
而且封面由松本大洋重畫,
只貴普通版40大元
十分抵買!
唯一不好的就是書和盒臭了一點...

Herzog de Meuron in Hong Kong

The concept of "bamboo scaffolding" seems too stereotype and shallow. However, concept is always ornamental only.


With its beautiful spined skyline and transparency, I will vote a yes to this project...


...subject to further review of site planning and layout! (this last sentence is so architectural!)

Complaint Letter to Canteen

To CANTEEN- Telford.

Dear Manager,

I strongly request your restaurant to stop
that narcissistic, as-if-it-is-very-lifely voice
of your attendance at the service counter.
All I want in the morning is a peaceful atmosphere,
and some relaxing music, not annoying voices.

Concerning the music, I am fed up with YMCA.
It's time to purchase some new CDs.

The last thing is that please note
there are not only people coming to Kowloon Bay to work but
there are workers from Telford Gardens to all over HK.
Your opening time at 8:00am shows your ignorance to the above.

Looking forward to your rectification.

Yours,

Customer N.

Am I too rude?

亞洲短打3:動畫精選 20071009

亞洲短打3:動畫精選






 
 
 
 




在雨中 Walking in the Rainy Day
將軍 Check Mate
禁果 Apple
衍生 Fission
克板(生活像)殭屍 (A Long Day of) Mr. Calpaccio
爺乃西瓜樹 Watermelon Tree
鰂公.緩步.狂想0700-0730 The Chronicle of Drawing; the Footprints of Time
Mind Blossom
可愛鄰居阿湯 My Lovely Neighbor Tom
終菸 Tobacco Embargo
酒吧的一夜 A Night in a Bar

以為開首片walking in the rain只是普普通通
沒想到卻已是頗好的一齣.

較好的還有Check Mate和鰂公.緩步.狂想
但若鰂公可緊湊一點更好.

大部份作品的問題是
太多畫面及技巧的賣弄,
故事不是太濫調就是缺乏創意. 
 
 

太陽照常升起 20071008



姜文再一次用浪漫的手法寫文革,
電影依舊充滿荒謬感.畫面強烈絢麗,
手電筒中的追逐,陽光下的火車,十分悅目.
但可能是美指太勁,又或是覺得姜文的片應是樸實點,
看時總覺得有點做作.

這期"看電影"有6大版姜文訪問,
看罷又覺得套戲好看了...哈哈...

第一次看房祖明做戲,感覺出奇地好,
但他一路問自己老豆係邊個時,
我淨係諗到...成龍...
